Just an inkling (chap 33)
Possible spoiler (chap 33) ************************************************** ************************************************
I have just read the chapter with Tess's wedding to Angel. I can't help feeling that Tess not being a virgin will turn out to be a VERY BIG DEAL. What with her agonizing about it all summer; trying to tell him on the cart but her courage failing her; putting a note under his door but under the carpet as well; the rooster crowing twice in the afternoon, and almost half the book yet to go. It's just an inkling I have.
